John Greengo
The success of your photography studio depends on your business model, not your location. Learn the key strategies that have propelled a booming second-generation family photography studio for more than 40 years in rural Minnesota.
In this course, Matthew Kemmetmueller will show you how to set up your entire high volume senior photography business step by step—including successful sales tactics, shooting techniques, and efficient workflow practices. You will see Matthew’s strategies in action as he takes you through two live shoots from start to finish—each in under 90 minutes. Matthew will also teach you how to increase the value of your services, market directly to new clients, and create unique products that will delight your customers.
Whether you’ve photographed thousands of seniors or just looking to learn high volume tactics, this course will give you a comprehensive, replicable roadmap for multiplying your revenue.
not quite done with the course yet but learning a lot. My business has been more of a hobby but am ready to take it to the next level. Found out I am doing EVERYTHING wrong....LOL. Learning a lot and looking forward to running a successful business. Lots of great information.
I absolutely LOVED this course! Matthew is informative, funny and an all around great teacher. His business plan is one that I will follow as I am getting my new business off the ground. Thank you Matthew! I'm looking forward to future classes!! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to provide a fresh and new photography business model.
Matthew shares not only generic lessons on business but the actual verbiage and details that he uses on a daily basis. Knowing him in person - what he's sharing is very real and on point to his actual business in Minnesota. It's fun getting all of his golden nuggets of wisdom in one central place - one library of videos and training that I can pause and replay while taking notes (something that'd be super awkward in person ;) I like that he is sharing his business tips from what's actually working in the real world - he makes his healthy income (no starving artist here) not off speaking fees and travelling on the presentation circuit or writing books - he's making his income from an active studio and I respect THAT advice far more than what worked back when many other speakers used to actually run a studio. Keep up the great work Matthew!
Really? Are you really questioning whether or not you should purchase this course? Lemme splain...no, lemme sum up! Matthew started with a model, posed him, photographed him, culled the images, designed an album, edited the images, had a computer crash, answered questions, continued to teach the students valuable information and reviewed the finished product in LESS THAN 90 MINUTES! If you are a high volume photographer or just a normal one that wants to streamline your workflow...this course is DEFINITELY FOR YOU!
Matthew is very personable and funny making the learning expereience fun. He does a great job dleivering some really good information.
I absolutely loved this course. I am primarily a maternity and newborn shooter and to my surprise what I learned here applies to my current work as well as developing my senior work. I thoroughly enjoyed Matthews delivery of each topic as it was clear, precise, fun and non intimidating. I will watch this over and over and the course downloads were amazing! 100% satisfied with this course
One of the best courses ever! Two weeks after watching, I booked three sessions for head shots and got them done in record time and with great results thanks to the principles he taught in class. I didn't believe when I was watching that you could nail a session with so few shots but he was 100% correct. My clients were thrilled, too!
I have stayed up late and been a zombie at work the next day to catch rebroadcasts of other teachers but honestly...this one I bought. I will be reviewing this one for years to come. Great teacher! Funnnyyyyy Guy. I'd love to have a beer with you Matthew if you and the wife ever make it Canada.
This guy knows what he's doing and what best way to do it. I watched the course live thinking I would learn something about taking photos of senior guys but learned much more than that. Most of the things Matthew teaches and goes over can be applied in most fields in photography + loved the tips about how to maintain clients and push them to get a more expensive package without nagging.
I learned so much from watching and purchasing this course. I loved how Matthew approached his workflow and has the attitude to work efficiently while always pleasing and exceeding the expectations of his clients. I enjoyed that he approached things from a clients / sales stand point and not "industry expectations". His course was geared toward High Volume Seniors, but his concepts and material could be used in any portrait photography. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing this course :)
So I watched the first few hrs live and had to break away from the computer...easier said than done! I ordered the course, and I'm amazed how addicting Matthew is. His knowledge and way to convey the information. Amazing, fun, and extremely useful information! Thanks for having "The Body" teach this course...
Wow surprised when I open my course to watch to get more goodies lol love that Matthew :) your are the coolest his group on Facebook is the bomb !!! Thanks for answering helping all of us new, advanced and pro photographer :) lol
He is funny, funny, funny! And of course, he's great at teaching his thing...great course!
I decided to listen in on the free course of Build a High Volume Senior Photography Business w/ Matthew Kemmentmueller...I thought it would be good to have the skill sets even if I chose to do another photography forum other than seniors. And I was laughing thru the whole thing...he is one funny guy!! So, I decided to buy it...not only is this course full of great tips/advice/ and "did you know facts" but it's really informative and again, he is down right funny. I'm learning lots. Thanks for having him on Creative Live...this one is a keeper.
I finally pushed the purchased and submit and entered the credit card number...Matt is addicting! Can't wait to watched this video again and take advantage of the bonus features! I am a startup 3 years in business who is turning her business upside and very excited. Thanks Matt, my husband and children thank you for encouraging me from the overshoots and overedit time that cuts into our family time. Going to recommend you to my brother, Andy Azula at the Martin Agency. He is the real pro in the family.
Matthew's class is excellent! I watched it live, but decided to buy it since it's so foundational. I think his information and materials are excellent, whether someone wants to be "high volume" or not. I love how he continually drove the point home about how so many photographers overwork themselves and gave excellent ways to resolve this issue. CL does such a great job of covering the gamut in education of all types. Thanks!
